Now entering her 42nd season as the mastermind of the LSU gymnastics program, Breaux exudes the same passion and enthusiasm to coach the Fighting Tigers as she did in her first season on the job.
Breaux has worked tirelessly to make LSU gymnastics the most exciting and family-friend event in the city, state and country on a Friday night. Tiger fans have continually set the bar higher with record attendance numbers set and their support has led the program to a perfect 34-0 record at home over the last five seasons.
Friday night inside the Maravich Center is a major attraction in Baton Rouge, and the attendance records have been rewritten thanks to the hard work by Breaux and her staff. In 2018, LSU sold out the PMAC against Alabama and Kentucky. LSU set the single-meet attendance record with 13,729 in the arena to watch the Tigers take down the Crimson Tide.
As the “Dean of Coaches” at LSU, Breaux has represented the University at the highest level both in the gym and, most importantly, in the classroom for 41 years. Her dedication to the student-athlete on an individual basis has transcended into academic success, community involvement, Coach of the Year honors, SEC Championships, NCAA Regional Championships and top-10 national rankings throughout her tenure. In fact, there is a tremendous balance between academics and athletics as LSU has produced 239 All-Americans and 150 Scholastic All-Americans during Breaux’s tenure.
